Ketchikan

No way I live in Alaska the rest of my life. **** that noise

Most of the south coast seems to have pretty nice summers, and it's gorgeous. Winters might get kind of long, but I think I could live there.

I can handle sketchy locals with a shot gun and a few bribes. My main question would be - how long is swimming season in Big Lake, if at all?

Can I call dibs on Unreal Estate Game: Iowa!!!

Do you want to propose the properties? Feel free if you like: the only rule is that we're generally looking for a diverse array, with costs between $900,000 and $1 million.

Don't be scared. January 2015, I flew out of Montana (36 degrees) into Austin Texas (31 degrees) while my buddy in Sitka Alaska (48 degrees) was fishing.

Lol you must have been downtown around 4th Ave? A lot of bums hanging around in that area.

I went up to work on the north slope for a job "a buddy" had lined up. It turned out "the buddy" was full of crap, but I decided to stay up there for a year anyway.

I got on as an inspector for Subaru and would inspect the cars when they would come in on the ships from Japan for any damage.

Anchorage has changed a lot form the time I lived there. When I was up there in the mid 80's it must have been an 80/1 guy girl ratio and the one was ugly. In that regard it was a long year.

Last time I was up there I saw a lot of good look ladies. If it would have been like that when I was living there, I probably would have never left.

I primarily fished/fish the Kenai for salmon and Homer for Halibut.

Lakes will be free of ice between mid May and early June. Swimming stops around mid September and even that is for the die hards. So pretty much the summer.

Like most Alaska areas, the quality of neighbors can vary from block to block, even within a block. Very nice houses next to property with a trailer on it. Big Lake is the meth capital of Alaska so you'd definitely want your shotgun. Weird thing is you could drive down the street and see really nice houses yet across the street are run down trailers, complete with cars on blocks.

Lived in Anchorage and fish in Homer? You have an Alaskan feel about you, so to speak. Just outside of Palmer myself. If you're ever going to be in the Valley on a a Sunday with th Chiefs playing, PM me. I'd be glad to buy the first round or two.

What made you move?

What's the male to female ratio?

Bring your sex robot..profit/bump

Pretty close to even now. Something like 50.2 men to 49.8 women.

I actually moved from KC to Anchorage as a kid and lived there for nearly all of my schooling and visit my parents up there every year.

Anchorage has pockets of nice parts in the city, but downtown is certainly not one of them. Growing up there was ok...long summer days were amazing but the long winter really sucked (hence why I now live in San Diego).
